Fudge Ripple Chocolate Ice Cream
Description
Fudge Ripple Chocolate Ice Cream combines sweetened condensed milk with unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to create a rich chocolate base. Stiffly whipped heavy cream is folded gently into this mixture to produce a smooth, airy ice cream base without the need for churning. The mixture is poured into a loaf pan in two layers, with hot fudge sauce spooned on top of each and swirled in with a knife. This layering creates thick fudge ripples throughout the ice cream for texture and concentrated chocolate flavor. The ice cream is covered and frozen for 8 hours or overnight to firm up. Optional additions include marshmallows and nuts for a rocky road variation or swapping hot fudge with salted caramel sauce for a different twist. Using cold cream and a chilled bowl helps achieve stiff peaks quickly when whipping.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce sweetened condensed milk can
- ½ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups heavy cream very cold
- 1 ounce hot fudge sauce or one cup of homemade hot fudge sauce, cooled, jar
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
- In a second bowl (preferably a chilled glass bowl) whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form (a hand mixer on medium-high speed will speed this up but it can be done by hand!).
- Gently fold heavy cream into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour half of the ice cream into a bread loaf pan.
- Drop half of the hot fudge sauce by spoonfuls onto the ice cream, gently swirl in with a knife a few times.
- Repeat with remaining ice cream and hot fudge sauce.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours or overnight. Scoop and serve!
Notes
- Use a chilled glass bowl and very cold heavy cream to whip faster and achieve stiff peaks.
- Try mixing in marshmallows and nuts for a rocky road style ice cream.
- Swap hot fudge sauce for salted caramel plus a pinch of sea salt for a salted caramel ripple.
- Additional mix-ins like chocolate chips or crushed graham crackers can be folded in for extra texture.
